BECOME A CERTIFIED MLD THERAPIST

MLD can be a very useful tool to add to the massage therapist's modality toolbox…..

Manual Lymphatic Drainage, as a health supporting modality, has received significant interest over the past 10 years, mainly due to an increase in studies demonstrating it’s therapeutic benefits in support of post surgical edema, lymphedema and possible immune support.

People are recognizing what optimum health truly means and as a result, they are looking to support their lymphatic systems, mostly with MLD.

There are many conditions that can benefit from supporting and encouraging the efficient movement of lymphatic fluid, which in turn enables the massage therapist to approach their clients in a way that can change the outcome of their treatments.

It allows the massage therapist to take an easier approach with their bodywork schedule and be less of a strain on the body, particularly the hands and wrists.

Understanding the lymphatic system will enable you to educate health professionals, colleagues and potential clients in the importance of a healthy functional lymphatic system and how that in turn maintains homeostasis and most importantly, allows you to work with almost any condition that you may be presented with in your clinic.
